Oh ok, .230 is definitely solid. The .238 hybrid improves upon the speed and makes it more snappy. The Hero def surprised me today the 1 drawback being no keyboard.

Hmm, if .238 is more responsive I might upgrade then. I notice the occasional pauses in .230, not too bad but noticeable.

Yeah I type so much faster on the Tour or Bold than I did even on other phones that have slider hardware keyboards. Keyboard is better than no keyboard, but a lot of the keyboards aren't even as good as BB...

Yeah 5v6 .238 is much snappier. Def right about the BB Keyboard. Add to the fact that it gets tedious and annoying having to slide a keyboard just to type a message. I've been using the Tour a little more than my TP2 lately because of that. And the all touchscreen thing just doesn't cut it. Thats why i am leery about the Storm 2 and the Hero. If a BB or Android comes out with half touch screen /half front facing keys i'm all over it. HD2 running Andrioid might be the only exception lol.

Yeah, no matter what phone I use, the touchscreen is a sub-par alternative when it comes to typing.

FingerKeyboard is much better than most SIPs, yet it still doesn't cut it.

Sliders aren't just annoying, they're also awkward because nothing is pushing against the back of the touchscreen when it's open and it's harder to hold.

Yep they need to do a massive overhaul on all touchscreen keyboards. I havent found one yet that i can say i would be comfortable using all the time.

Right now it like T-mobile is the one to get it. I personally think Sprint might pick it up because they decided not to pick up the Imagio which Verizon picked up. If Verizon does pick it up it think it would have to be the version with Android on it if HTC does in fact come out with that version. But you never know. Just an educated guess on my part.

Hah, actually I do understand the language (Greek), and you can pretty much imagine what they're saying most of the time... best part of the video is when they're looking at the photos app, and the other guy not holding the phone goes to touch it, and the guy goes "ela, re" . Come on! It's right around the 5:05 mark.

Yeah, I'm obsessed with this phone.
